I quilt all sizes on my Berninas - 630, 180 and even my 40 year old 807.
I guess I use a puddle and roll combo!
I also have the luxury of an 8 foot by 4 ft work table, for quilting big I clear off the table and spread the quilt out while I work.
I mark my really big quilts into 8 sections and just 'pretend' the 8th I'm working on is all the quilt! I also sit on a pile of cushions and I dont even look at the machine with out my gloves and three wound bobins.

I just have a regular sized Pfaff machine. I can quilt a twin-sized quilt on it very easily. So far, I have not made a quilt bigger than that. I think I will send it out if I do. I have tried to find somewhere where they would let me use their long arm but have not found that. I am taking a class on a smaller long arm at the end of the month, so I can do FMQ, and other things that I do not do on my little machine right now.

I have an Elna Quilting Queen 7300, the largest I have done is an extra long twin I rolled, but have learned here and elsewhere that puddling is a much better system. The money I have to spend on quilting doesn't include the talents of a longarmer or my secret desire- an HQ sweet 16 that fits in the beautiful extended table my husband built for me so my Quilting Queen reigns in her table alone. There are so many helpful tutorials, books and videos I need to just keep developing my skills.
